Chrysanthemum Goji Cassia Tea (菊花枸杞决明子茶) — 15 Cold-Brew Herbal Cups, 240g

Chrysanthemum Goji Cassia Tea (菊花枸杞决明子茶) is a blended Chinese herbal tea built on Jué Míng Zǐ (决明子, Cassia obtusifolia seed), Jú Huā (菊花, Chrysanthemum morifolium flower), and Gǒu Qǐ Zǐ (枸杞子, Lycium barbarum fruit), combined with Jú Jù (菊苣, chicory root), Sāng Shèn (桑葚, mulberry fruit), Niú Bàng Gēn (牛蒡根, burdock root), Fú Líng (茯苓, Poria cocos), Lú Gēn (芦根, reed rhizome), Pú Gōng Yīng (蒲公英, dandelion), and Sāng Yè (桑叶, mulberry leaf). In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this style of blend is prized as a cooling, clarifying, and gently nourishing daily tea — traditionally used to clear Liver heat, ease the eyes, moisten dryness, and support smooth flow of qi and fluids. Its overall nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and mildly cooling, making it a balanced cup for everyday seasonal drinking.

Quality & Sensory

Each small cup holds a coarse-cut blend of golden cassia seeds, pale chrysanthemum petals, deep-red goji berries, dark mulberry fruit, and light herbal pieces. The dry blend carries a soft floral aroma with a faint roasted, nutty note from the cassia seed. Cold-brewed, the liquor turns a clear amber-gold with a light floral top note; the first sip is gently sweet from mulberry and goji, followed by a mild bitterness from chrysanthemum and dandelion, and a clean, slightly grassy finish. Warm-brewed, the same blend yields a rounder, more aromatic cup with a longer sweet aftertaste.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, blends of cassia seed, chrysanthemum, and goji berry are steeped as everyday teas to clear Liver heat, brighten the eyes, and gently moisten dryness — a combination long associated with long hours of reading, screen work, and late nights. Mulberry fruit, mulberry leaf, dandelion, and reed rhizome are added to cool and hydrate, while Poria and burdock root lend a mild, grounding quality. In Chinese home kitchens, similar mixtures are simmered as seasonal decoctions in spring and summer, or brewed fresh each morning as a light, refreshing daily cup. The cold-brew method follows a modern folk habit of steeping the blend overnight in cool water for a smoother, less bitter infusion.
